�You�� Ruby did not expect to get this kind of response from Renee. She was so embarrassed that her face turned beet red. �It�s true that I admire Mr. Hunt very much, but I�ve never had the intention to harm you.�

After speaking, she took a deep breath and sucked her tummy in, making her waist appear even tinier than it already was. Then, she shyly and seductively gazed at Stefan.

Was she so easily tricked?!

Renee had no idea that Ruby Chisholm could be this shameless and unreserved. She was, after all, the youngest film superstar and the most popular celebrity in the entertainment industry! How could she not know to be a little subtler? How could she be so vulgar?

�Mr. Hunt,� Renee nudged Stefan and boldly teased him, �why don�t you say something? Miss Chisholm just confessed her feelings for you! You can�t leave a celebrity like that hanging!�

Stefan was visibly upset. A chilling expression emerged on his chiseled face that would easily freeze anyone in their tracks, and his eyes stared dead at Renee.

He was obviously waiting for her to explain what just happened, and was not in the mood to joke around with her!

But Renee remained completely unfazed. Dangerously dancing at the edge of the tiger�s mouth, she continued to tease him. �Why don�t you two shake hands and consider yourselves officially introduced? Don�t forget me when you get together and pay me the matchmaker�s fee! Hahahaha..."

�Ah!�

Stefan grabbed Renee�s arm violently and gripped it tight. It hurt so much that she grimaced. �Are you out of your mind, Stefan Hunt?! Do you want to get beaten up? I�m warning you-let go of me!�

But Stefan only clenched his grip on her arm. His eyes turned savage as he demanded an answer.

�Explain yourself!"

Renee�s lips curled up, but her expression was cold. In a moment, her heart froze into ice.

She assumed that Stefan would never have to ask such a stupid question, but since he had actually blurted it out, it was clear that a vast chasm had opened up between them, forever separating them from each other, no matter if he believed it or not�

�I have nothing to explain,� replied Renee. �If you trust me, I don�t have to say a word, and you�d still trust me. But if you don�t believe me, it won�t matter even if I explain everything to you till my mouth gets dry. I could dig out my heart and show it to you, and you still won�t believe me.�

Renee forcefully yanked her hand from him. There was only calm diffidence on her flawless face. Then, as if not caring at all what Stefan thought of her, she added, �Do whatever you want. I�m leaving!�

Then she turned on her heels and left without having the slightest feeling left for the man, not giving a jot of what he thought of her. So what if he thought she was a vicious murderer? To him, she was bad enough in the first place, so why bother worrying about it?

Stefan stared at Renee walking away, seemingly carefree and unbothered. His brows were tightly knitted. He was inconsolably enraged, partly due to the fact that Cecilia nearly drowned, and partly from his frustration of losing control.

He had always prided himself on effortlessly keeping everything under his control, but right now, he had absolutely no control over Renee Everheart. Setting aside the fact that he had no idea if Renee had really pushed Cecilia into the sea, what boiled his blood was Renee�s obtuseness, where she refused to explain herself. Her complete indifference towards him irrationally set his teeth on edge!

Dusk had fallen. The ambery sun slowly descended below the sea on the horizon. Light was disappearing, and it was getting dark everywhere. JrNovels.com
